Some very special people I know
Are having babies this year
As these new babies get ready to make their way in to the world
I am getting ready to leave the baby days behind
Edie Mae is 8 months old now
And every days sees her taking giant leaps toward becoming a toddler
While I am cherishing every moment and milestone
I can now confidently say that I am ready to leave the baby daze behind me
And truly enjoy all that my older children have to offer
And spread myself more evenly among them
As a mummy with five babies
I feel that I do have some wisdom and knowledge to impart
Some tips and tricks to share
So over the next four months
As I prepare to say bye bye baby days
I am also going to be writing a series of posts for new mummies
And giving away some of my favourite products
Some of the things
If I had my time again
I would not be without
I am also going to share the many products I bought
And never ever used
Today though I just want to share with you some gift sets
On the market
That you might buy for a mummy and baby in your life
Toiletries
Lotions and potions
Oils and bubbles
Things to pamper mummy
To encourage self care
Gifts that facilitate the best gift of all
Time
Gift sets that inspire and aid bonding with baby
Gifts that keep on giving
Gifts perfect for a baby shower
Or when a little one is first born
Gifts worth buying
Gifts for giving with love
This Mum To Be Gift Set
May seem like quite a ‘personal’ gift to buy
But I promise you it will be gratefully received
Perhaps not at first by a very first time mum
Who may be feeling anxious
And may still be blissfully unaware of the wear and tear of birth
But once baby is here the products will all at once make sense
And be used over and over again

Have the perfect combination of gentle natural

For a mother and baby
Or mummy to be
One final thought from me
If you do decide to give one of these sets as a gift
Why not also give your time?
Offer to watch the baby so mummy can have a bath
Offer to play with older children so mummy and baby can bathe together
Often presence is the best of presents
But I reckon offering some self care in a box comes a close second
